After the next few rounds, the enemy remained motionless except for the area near the explosion site.
Ren Baqian hoped that the other party would make a move. After the other party moved, they would create a certain amount of chaos so that it would be easier for the army to break in.
With such an explosion, it seemed like the enemy had no way to retaliate, but the number of artillery shells was limited.
If Ren Baqian had a thousand or eight hundred artillery shells, he would be able to bombard them until they doubted their lives. He was sure that when they returned to Great Xia, they would ponder, "Who am I?" Where am I? What am I doing?
The problem was that there was none.
The other side did not move, and many of them squatted down to try and reduce the damage from the explosives.
If he continued to bombard them for a while longer, they would probably fall to the ground. Then, they would immediately discover that the damage of the shells would be greatly reduced when they fell to the ground.
"Where are their rations?" Ren Baqian turned his head and asked Li Qianqiu. Very quickly, dozens of winged cavalry warriors surrounded the enemy's camp to investigate.
Very soon, the news came back. The enemy's rations were also tightly surrounded.
"Where can I see it? Go and take a look! "Ren Baqian said.
"No need to go through so much trouble." Li Qianqiu waved his hand. Carrying Ren Baqian with one hand, he exerted force with his legs and leaped 20 to 30 meters into the air. Ren Baqian took off his night vision goggles and could barely see the rations in the middle.
The outer fence was filled with torches, but there wasn't much light inside. However, everyone had torches in their hands. As long as the Dayao army attacked, they would light up the torches and the camp would immediately be brightly lit.
However, there were still some torches in the center, which allowed him to see them clearly.
In the middle of the mountainous pile of rations, the Great Xia soldiers stood in a battle formation with their backs against the rations.
Although they surrounded the rations, due to the terrain and layout, the two gates had the most people, while the north barracks had the least people.
In the army, there were two camps, one in the south and one in the north. This way, they could help each other and not interfere with each other. Among them, the first army to enter Dayao was the current north barracks. Most of the practitioners were in the north barracks, but they were scattered in yesterday's battle. It was unknown how many of them returned to the barracks.
Yesterday, more than half of the 20,000 soldiers in ambush had been lost, and only a few had managed to escape. Now, there were no more than 40,000 people in the camp.
The South Camp that attacked tonight was made up of the 100,000 reinforcements that came later. There were still 80,000 of them left.
When Ren Baqian was at the highest point, he could see everything below him clearly.
Then, there was a ripping sound …
"Eh?" For a moment, Ren Baqian couldn't feel the hand that was grabbing his collar. His clothes couldn't bear the weight and were pulled apart. He was scared out of his wits.
With his current strength, falling from a height of twenty to thirty meters, even if he didn't die from the fall, his legs would definitely be broken. Most importantly, when his clothes were torn, it would tear him. He couldn't control his body at all!
Fortunately, Li Qianqiu reacted in an instant and grabbed his arm, pulling him down from the sky. Like a meteorite crashing into the ground, the entire ground shook.
As soon as he landed, Ren Baqian cursed, "Damn you!"
Wouldn't it have been fine if he had just grabbed her arm and jumped up from the beginning? Just now, his heart rate had almost soared to 180.
Li Qianqiu pulled his leg out from the ground and turned to look at him. He was silent at first before he asked, "Do you know him?"
Ren Baqian, "…"
While telling himself not to get angry at these bastards, he continued to sulk. After a long time, he finally calmed down and started calculating the position of the enemy's rations.
The clothes on his body had turned into a pile of rags, which he randomly wrapped around his body. He was no better than a beggar.
Compared to the aboriginals, a large portion of his skin was exposed. Countless mosquitoes looked at him as if they were looking at Tang Seng, but he didn't notice them at all.
"Extinguish all the torches!" Ren Baqian said.
Dozens of winged cavalry warriors drew their bows and arrows. After a round of shots, the torches at the fence of the barracks were immediately shot off and fell to the ground. The light also dimmed. As dozens of winged cavalry warriors wandered around the barracks, more and more places became dimmer.
"This is how they are inside." Ren Baqian drew an oval on the ground and marked the position near the middle. This was the position of the rations.
In front of the barracks was a thick formation. The formation near the river and the north barracks was slightly weaker.
The north barracks was the weakest, but it was easy for them to be pincered. As such, the position near the river was the best place to attack.
"In a while, I will use artillery fire to ignite their rations, and they will definitely fall into chaos. You guys cut in from here and kill your way out from here. After making a turn, you will exit from here and circle back to this point to await further orders.
With your attack, they will definitely be affected in putting out the fire. Due to this delay, the fire will become bigger, and they will have to get water if they want to put out the fire.
The others will lie in ambush at the place where they get water and kill whoever comes.
Next, it depends on their reaction. It is impossible for the other party to ignore the rations. The rations in the north barracks are definitely not enough to last until they return to Great Xia. In that case, it is very likely that they will send a portion of their troops to the water source, cover the area, and then push the rest of the army up … Therefore, the troops at the water source have to be careful. There isn't a need to intercept too many people in the early stages, and the rest will be outside the firing range on both sides.
As for how to deal with it, it will depend on the arrangement of the other party's troops. If there are no accidents, we will take down one of them, "Ren Baqian said as he drew the map.
He had never learned any of the 36 stratagems or the art of war.
As for the plan, Ren Baqian felt that no matter what, it was better to have a plan than not. In any case, the worst outcome would be a head-on confrontation. With their current strength and the fact that they could disrupt the other party's formation with their mortars, they wouldn't lose even if they fought head-on. They just needed to minimize the number of casualties.
What they were relying on now was that the other party didn't dare to act rashly and was holed up in one place. They were well aware of the other party's every move. In addition, they had the walkie-talkies to direct communication and the mortars to attack from afar.
Furthermore, the strong individual strength of the aboriginal warriors could be better utilized in the chaos.
On Earth, could 1,000 aboriginal warriors attack 100,000 people? In this world, it was possible.
The strength of an ordinary soldier was only 200 to 300 kilograms, but the strength of the winged cavalry warriors was 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms. They could slash bullets. This kind of reaction speed, speed, and tremendous strength allowed the winged cavalry, an aboriginal elite, to fight against 100 people. It was as if they were unparalleled.
All of these factors added up to their advantage.
A few of the key points were the walkie-talkies and night vision devices that were brought over from Earth. Even though they wouldn't cause direct damage, they played a huge role.
The night vision devices allowed them to see the other party's every move in the dark. The walkie-talkies could directly contact the army and didn't require any messengers to go down. Whether it was mobilizing troops or issuing other orders, they could be reached in time.
"What should we do if the northern barracks come to our rescue?" Li Qianqiu asked.
"In that case, find something for them to do first," Ren Baqian replied.
Everyone approached the vicinity of the north barracks, and Ren Baqian took another high-altitude tour. The rations of the north barracks were almost the same as those of the south barracks.
"Send 500 men to the river bank of the north barracks and prepare to intercept them." Li Qianqiu used the walkie-talkie to make arrangements.
Ren Baqian adjusted the angle and fired.
Ten shells were fired in a row. Each time, the angle was adjusted slightly. This round of artillery fire was just enough to cover half of the north barracks' rations.
When each shell exploded, the sparks that sprayed out ignited the surrounding rations.
The north barracks, which had been on high alert, immediately became chaotic. Immediately, there were cries of "water, put out the fire."
The Great Xia army first overturned the rations cart to minimize their losses. Then, they rushed to the nearby tents and used bedding to cover the rations. At the same time, they also sent some people to the river bank to fetch water. However, there were immediately shouts from the river bank. The 1,000 soldiers who went to fetch water were like meat buns that were beaten up.
However, in a short period of time …
